they diagnosed it DISCO FEVER

I was going over an invented memory where there was all summer in a day and we were crazy from the heat. They diagnosed it disco fever.

The notes reverberated against the walls and I sat
messy and barefoot on the kitchen counter waiting to swallow them.
an artificial breeze dried my eyes and I didn’t need your sleeve.

We could have given birth to a sparrow with lyrics to “love hangover” printed on its wings, but our hands crumpled what was left of our fever.
